Please post your favorite 10 movies(order doesn't matter) in each genre. Any movie that appears on more then one list will be eligible for the tourney. I will leave this thread open until next wednesday.

Favorite meaning which movies do you enjoy watching the most, not which are technically superior.

How this will work:
Using your top 10 lists(one from Comedy and one from Horror) I will seed out two tourneys. We will have a comedy bracket and a horror bracket. Instead of a full group of horror or comedy I will mix and match the groups. The matchups will always be horror vs horror or comedy vs comedy of course. Once we get a champion from each genre we will put them against each other at the end just for fun.

I think we will have some debate on whether some movies fit the genre, so basically if I get a movie twice, then it is in. For instance if two people have Alien on their horror list then it is in the tourney, even though many would argue that it is SciFi and not horror.



So let's get the lists going!! Make sure in horror especially that if the movie has a remake you post which one you mean.

This list will definitely change, so I wouldn't tally mine yet. Just a placeholder in case I forget to think it out and get back to it.

Edit to add: Done. Deletions in stirkethru text, addition in bold. Deleted all that already had 3+ votes, added a few newbies and seconds. It would be a crime if Peter Sellers didn't make the comedy list.

I'm noticing a lot of "grey area" films in here. I don't really think Oldboy is a horror movie, nor is Jaws otherwise it would have been on my list. I know it's subjective, but anything that seems questionable shouldn't be listed. Just my 2 cents.
